[Hidden-tech] Online conference registration

[Matt Lampiasi]

I did a paypal cart for a nonprofit recently and was quite sure one of 
the paypal options does not require the customer to have a paypal 
account. i'm not sure if you have to pay for another level or something, 
but it is an option (that users don't need a paypal account). so you can 
use it as an affordable low volume replacement for a merchant services 
account.
